SLAPINDEX(8C) SLAPINDEX(8C)
slapindex - Reindex entries in a SLAPD database
SBINDIR/slapindex [-b suffix] [-c] [-d debug-level]
[-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-g] [-n dbnum] [-o option[=value]]
[-q] [-t] [-v] [attr[...]]
Slapindex is used to regenerate slapd(8) indices based upon the
current contents of a database. It opens the given database
determined by the database number or suffix and updates the
indices for all values of all attributes of all entries. If a list
of specific attributes is provided on the command line, only the
indices for those attributes will be regenerated. Databases
configured as subordinate of this one are also re-indexed, unless
-g is specified.
All files eventually created by slapindex will belong to the
identity slapindex is run as, so make sure you either run
slapindex with the same identity slapd(8) will be run as (see
option -u in slapd(8)), or change file ownership before running
slapd(8).
-b suffix
Use the specified suffix to determine which database to
generate output for. By default, the first database that
supports the requested operation is used. The -b cannot be
used in conjunction with the -n option.
-c enable continue (ignore errors) mode.
-d debug-level
enable debugging messages as defined by the specified
debug-level; see slapd(8) for details.
-f slapd.conf
specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.
-F confdir
specify a config directory. If both -f and -F are
specified, the config file will be read and converted to
config directory format and written to the specified
directory. If neither option is specified, an attempt to
read the default config directory will be made before
trying to use the default config file. If a valid config
directory exists then the default config file is ignored.
-g disable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database
will be processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).
-n dbnum
Generate output for the dbnum-th database listed in the
configuration file. The config database slapd-config(5), is
always the first database, so use -n 0
The -n cannot be used in conjunction with the -b option.
-o option[=value]
Specify an option with a(n optional) value. Possible
generic options/values are:
syslog=<subsystems> (see `-s' in slapd(8))
syslog-level=<level> (see `-S' in slapd(8))
syslog-user=<user> (see `-l' in slapd(8))
-q enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode. Performs no
consistency checks when writing the database. Improves
indexing time, however the database will most likely be
unusable if any errors or interruptions occur.
-t enable truncate mode. Truncates (empties) an index database
before indexing any entries. May only be used with back-
mdb.
-v enable verbose mode.
Your slapd(8) should not be running (at least, not in read-write
mode) when you do this to ensure consistency of the database.
This command provides ample opportunity for the user to obtain and
drink their favorite beverage.
To reindex your SLAPD database, give the command:
SBINDIR/slapindex
To regenerate the index for only a specific attribute, e.g. "uid",
give the command:
SBINDIR/slapindex uid
ldap(3), ldif(5), slapadd(8), ldapadd(1), slapd(8)
